Is It Possible To Stop Period Once It Has Started?

My last period in 31 august. I m going for hajj at 27 September. Oby/gyn doc prescribed duphaston for 10 days then stopped it to get my period earlier, but 3 days after it did t come. Then, I went to doc to delay it as it s too late. Doc prescribed primolut n 5mg 3 tab every day. After 1 day of talking the medicine I had pinkish spotting at night. Today morning the spotting increased but still it s not bleeding. I don t want my period to start now, What I need to do? FYI: Hx: pregnancy induced hypertension once, anemia Thank you

Hi,

You cannot completely stop the period that had started already.

You can reduce the amount of bleeding using drugs like Tranexamic Acid.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
